💨 Abstract

AJ Smith-Shawver, a 22-year-old rookie for the Atlanta Braves, has a torn UCL in his pitching elbow. He was put on the 60-day injured list after feeling a "pop" during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies. His next steps, including whether he will need Tommy John surgery, will be decided by physicians. Smith-Shawver has a 3.86 ERA in nine starts this season.
